Acknowledgments 


In  the  preparation  of  this  book  I  have  had  the  valuable  assistance 
of  Mr.  Oren  F.  Morton,  who,  in  addition  to  condensing  the  great 
iu..vx  of  material  into  the  shape  in  which  it  appears  in  sections  from 
1  to  251,  prepared  the  articles  which  appear  under  the  title  "Vir 
ginia's  Share  in  the  Militia  Movements  of  the  Revolution,"  and 
"Virginia  Counties,  Old  and  New." 

I  wish  also  to  acknowledge  my  indebtedness  to  Judge  Lyman 
Chalkley,  of  Lexington,  Kentucky,  for  procuring  for  me  some  of 
the  declarations  of  record  in  that  State,  to  Mr.  W.  G.  Stanard, 
the  Secretary  of  the  Virginia  Historical  Society,  and  Dr.  Henry  R. 
Mcllwaine,  the  Virginia  State  Librarian,  for  many  courtesies  shown 
me  while  engaged  in  the  preparation  of  this  book. 


Introduction 

This  book  does  not  profess  to  be  a  history  of  the  Virginia  Militia 
in  the  Revolution.  No  claim  is  made  that  it  gives  a  complete 
list  of  the  companies  from  any  of  the  counties.  Its  purpose  is  to 
make  available  the  material,  some  of  which  I  have  been  gathering 
from  time  to  time  for  a  number  of  years.  It  is  believed,  however, 
that  it  is  the  first  attempt  to  compile  a  considerable  quantity  of 
data  on  the  subject.  In  a  statement  issued  by  the  Secretary  of  War 
in  1832,  he  says  that  there  are  in  his  department  no  rolls  of  the 
State  troops  except  those  of  Virginia,  and  no  rolls  of  the  militia 
except  those  of  New  Hampshire. 

In  regard  to  the  Militia,  very  little  is  known  and  that  little  is 
extremely  fragmentary. 

In  1776  the  available  militia  in  Virginia  is  thought  to  have 
been  about  45,000  men;  probably  it  was  never  less  than  40,000,  of 
whom  possibly  one-fourth  saw  real  service.  Other  states  have 
counted  their  militia  in  the  strength  which  they  gave  to  the  Revolu 
tionary  cause.  For  the  lack  of  data  Virginia  has  not  received  credit 
on  tin's  score.  The  reports  of  Secretary-of-War  Knox  fail  to  do 
justice  to  Virginia  along  this  line.  The  figures  given  by  him  are 
mere  estimates. 

In  1776  a  large  number  of  Virginians  were  in  the  field  against 
Dunmore.  Some  went  to  the  relief  of  North  Carolina  and  others 
were  in  the  Cherokee  Expedition  in  the  West. 

In  1778  Virginia  had  a  number  of  militia  in  the  operations  in 
the  West  and  for  defense  along  the  frontiers. 

In  1779,  Virginia  was  authorized  to  send  militia  to  South 
Carolina. 

In  1780,  the  militia  were  out  in  large  numbers. 

In  1781,  700  militia  joined  General  Gates,  some  were  at  King's 
Mountain  and  others  were  serving  around  Norfolk.  In  the  latter 
part  of  this  year  Dan'l  Morgan  had  some  of  them  serving  in 
Green's  Army.  In  1781,  practically  all  of  the  available  militia  of 
Virginia  were  summoned  into  service,  taking  part  in  the  Battle  of 
Guilford  Court  House,  serving  with  Lafayette  and  at  the  Siege 
of  Yorktown. 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN   THE  REVOLUTION 


It  is  hoped  that  the  material  given  in  this  book  may  throw  some 
light  on  these  services. 

Most  of  the  statements  set  out  in  this  book  were  found  by  me 
in  the  counties  where  they  were  made.  The  word  "county"  is 
omitted  in  the  statements  where  it  will  be  easily  understood.  In 
some  of  the  counties  the  declarations  of  the  soldiers  for  pensions  are 
spread  in  full  upon  the  order  book.  In  others  they  may  be 
found  filed  writh  the  papers  of  the  term  of  court  at  which  the  ap 
plication  was  made.  Where  not  set  out  in  full  on  the  record  book 
and  not  filed  with  the  papers  of  the  term,  a  very  difficult  proposi 
tion  presents  itself.  I  have  frequently  succeeded,  however,  in  finding 
among  the  old  musty  files  a  package  in  which  these  declarations  are 
wrapped  up  and  have  been  preserved.  Should  all  of  these  methods 
fail  to  disclose  the  statement,  the  only  other  method  of  procuring  it 
is  to  obtain  from  the  Bureau  of  Pensions  at  Washington,  an  ab 
stract  of  the  particular  statements  desired. 

Frequently  in  the  Clerk's  Offices  there  will  be  found  applications 
on  which  no  pensions  have  been  issued,  due  sometimes  to  a  failure 
to  supply  proper  proof,  and  at  others  because  the  service  was  not 
of  sufficient  length  to  bring  the  applicant  within  the  terms  of  the 
pension  law. 

Under  Chapters  IV  and  V  will  be  found  the  list  of  successful 
applicants  for  pensions  whose  pensions  were  granted  solely  on  the 
ground  of  service  as  Virginia  Militiamen.  Many  others  who  obtained 
pensions  for  service  in  the  State  Troops  or  in  the  regular  service 
unquestionably  served  at  times  in  the  militia.  There  are  several 
instances  in  the  statements  set  out  in  this  book  where  soldiers  who 
held  a  high  rank  in  the  State  troops  or  in  the  regular  service  later 
on  served  in  the  militia. 

In  Sections  from  251  to  280  inclusive,  I  give  the  names  of 
officers  wTho  wrere  recommended  or  qualified  in  various  counties  in 
the  State.  While  this  does  not  necessarily  mean  that  the  person 
served,  the  probabilities  are  so  strong  as  to  make  it  almost  a  cer 
tainty. 

I  have  followed  various  trails  which  were  said  to  lead  to 
muster  rolls  of  Virginia  Militiamen  but  found  only  the  few  which 
are  set  out  in  this  book. 


Virginia's  Share  in  the  Military 
Movements  of  the  Revolution    :% 

In  this  article  we  present  a  bird's-eye  view*  cf  Vacse  Held'jrK/vej- 
ments  of  the  Revolution,  which  immediately  concern  Virginia.  It 
will  interpret  much  of  wThat  is  told  in  the  pension  declarations. 

During  the  spring  of  1775,  Virginia  committed  herself  to  the 
cause  of  American  Independence.  In  June,  Lord  Dunmore,  the 
tory  governor  fled  to  a  British  wrar  vessel,  and  from  the  safety  of 
its  deck  he  still  made  a  pretense  of  asserting  his  authority.  During  the 
summer  he  gathered  a  few  ships  and  with  a  force  of  British  and 
tories  he  began  to  harry  the  shores  of  the  Chesapeake.  His  style  of 
warfare  consisting  in  plundering  plantation  houses,  maltreating 
women  and  children,  stealing  slaves,  and  burning  seaports.  In  Octo 
ber  he  was  repulsed  from  Hampton  and  in  December  was  defeated 
near  Norfolk.  But  on  New  Year's  day,  1776,  he  cannonaded  and 
burned  the  last  named  town.  General  Andrew  Lewis  took  command 
of  the  Virginia  forces  and  drove  Dunmore  from  his  stronghold  on 
Gwin's  Island  in  the  Chesapeake.  The  late  governor  sailed  for 
England,  and  for  three  years  the  British  had  no  foothold  on  Virginia 
soil.  Yet  their  navy  enabled  them  to  dominate  the  sea,  and  the  coun 
ties  lying  on  navagable  waters  were  thus  kept  in  frequent  alarm. 

The  first  phase  of  the  Revolution,  as  it  relates  to  Virginia,  was 
therefore  the  contest  with  Dunmore  on  the  tidal  waters.  It  was 
fought  with  militia,  who  came  in  part  from  the  counties  toward 
the  Blue  Ridge.  The  militia  of  the  Tidewater  continued  to  be  called 
out  here  and  there  to  repel  the  parties  which  landed  from  ships 
for  the  purpose  of  plunder. 

The  second  phase  consisted  of  trouble  from  the  Indians  on  the 
western  frontier.  They  had  been  stunned  by  their  defeat  at  Point 
Pleasant,  in  1774,  but  being  urged  on  by  British  emissaries  and 
white  renegades,  they  at  length  began  to  harass  the  weak  settlements 
in  Kentucky,  along  the  Holston,  and  toward  the  Ohio.  To  quell  the 
Cherokees  in  the  Southwest,  a  large  force  of  militia  was  sent  to  the 
Holston  early  in  the  war.  This  army  was  in  part  made  up  of  men 
from  east  of  the  Blue  Ridge.  But  the  militia  of  the  Shenandoah 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION 


Valley  were  able  to  stand  off  the  Indians  who  threatened  them 
from  the  Northwest.  The  war  parties  of  the  red  men  scarcely  ven 
tured  east  of  the  Alleghany  divide,  yet  the  scattered  settlements  be 
yond  were  subjected  to  much  distress.  The  wanton  murder  of  Corn 
stalk,  at  Point  Pleasant,  was  the  immediate  cause  of  the  Indian  raid 
into  Greenbrier  in.  1778.  The  Indian  depredations  continued 
/thruiighoiit  tHe.',\var,L  and  garrisons  had  to  be  maintained  in  the 
irontier  forts  throughout  the  threatened  area. 

Being  unmolested  by  any  strong  force,  Virginia  was  free  to  raise 
and  equip  a  number  of  regiments  for  the  Continental  service.  Several 
of  these  took  a  distinguished  part  in  the  war  in  the  Northern  colonies. 
But  for  some  time  the  militia  were  scarcely  called  upon  except  for 
the  purposes  already  named. 

The  final  phase  of  the  Revolution  in  Virginia  did  not  actively 
begin  until  the  close  of  1780,  although  in  1779,  Clinton,  the  British 
commander-in-chief,  had  sent  an  expedition  to  ravage  the  coast.  Un 
able  to  make  head  against  Washington  in  the  North,  Clinton  had 
carried  the  war  into  the  South.  Under  Cornwallis,  his  armies 
overran  South  Carolina  during  the  spring  and  summer  of  1780, 
Georgia  being  already  in  their  power.  North  Carolina  was  thus 
threatened  from  the  South,  and  continued  British  success  meant 
peril  to  Virginia  from  the  same  direction.  To  render  the  outlook  all 
the  worse,  there  wrere  fewr  disciplined  Virginia  troops  who  could  be 
summoned  to  defend  the  State.  The  Virginia  Continentals  had  been 
sent  South  as  well  as  North.  Gen'l  Mathew's  regiment  had  been 
captured  at  Germantown,  Buford's  had  been  massacred  by  Tarlton's 
troopers,  and  still  other  regiments  had  been  included  in  the  surrender 
of  Charleston,  to  say  nothing  of  still  further  losses.  The  drilled 
Continentals  had  proved  themselves  equal  to  the  best  British  regulars, 
but  although  Virginia  still  had  a  somewhat  numerous  militia,  they 
were  untrained  men  and  therefore  at  a  great  disadvantage  when  con 
fronted  by  veterans. 

In  the  fall  of  that  year  there  was  some  apprehension  that  the 
Carolina  tories  under  the  energetic  Ferguson,  would  push  into  South 
west  Virginia.  There  was  a  considerable  tory  element  in  that  region, 
and  it  was  a  further  object  to  seize  the  lead  mines  in  Wythe  County. 
The  militia  were  called  out  in  their  defense,  but  in  October,  Fergu 
son's  army  was  annihilated  at  King's  Mountain,  men  from  South 
west  Virginia  contributing  to  this  fortunate  result. 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION 


In  1780,  General  Muhlenberg,  the  brilliant  soldier  who  had  quit 
the  pulpit  for  the  camp,  was  sent  by  Washington  to  take  command 
in  Virginia.  Gathering  some  odds  and  ends  of  trained  troops,  and 
some  militia,  he  drove  the  British  General  Leslie  from  Portsmouth, 
Next  January,  Benedict  Arnold,  the  traitor,  appeared  with  a  larger 
force  than  was  present  to  oppose  him.  He  took  Richmond  and  then 
fell  back  to  Portsmouth,  burning  and  plundering  all  along  his  line  of 
march.  At  Portsmouth  he  was  blockaded  by  the  militia  under 
Muhlenberg.  General  Lafeyette  was  now  sent  on  by  Washington  with 
1,200  regulars.  To  rescue  Arnold,  a  still  larger  force  of  British 
\vas  sent  to  Portsmouth,  and  Phillips,  its  commander,  advanced  and 
took  Petersburg.  Here  he  had  an  engagement  with  Steuben,  who 
wras  in  general  command  of  the  Americans,  pending  the  arrival  of 
Lafayette,  whose  approach  prevented  a  second  capture  of  Richmond. 
Phillips  died  of  fever  at  Petersburg  and  Arnold  resumed  command 
of  the  British. 

Meanwhile,  Cornwallis  had  pushed  the  Southern  army,  under 
General  Green,  through  North  Carolina  to  the  very  border  of  Vir 
ginia.  Notwithstanding  the  menace  of  the  British  army  on  the  lower 
James,  it  was  necessary  to  meet  the  new  danger.  Through  great 
exertion,  some  1,600  Virginia  militia  were  collected  to  join  Greene. 
Many  of  them  wrere  from  the  Valley  counties.  With  their  help  he 
gave  battle  to  Cornwallis,  at  Guilford,  March  5th,  and  crippled 
him  so  badly  that  he  made  a  tumultuous  retreat  to  Wilmington. 
Greene  advanced  into  South  Carolina,  and  toward  the  end  of  May 
Cornwallis  arrived  at  Petersburg  and  superseded  Arnold. 

The  British  army  in  Virginia  was  now  about  8,000  strong.  La 
fayette  with  his  much  inferior  force  was  pursued  to  the  Rapidan, 
which  he  crossed  at  Ely's  Ford.  Cornwallis  then  moved  toward  the 
mountains.  A  raiding  party  under  Colonel  Simcoe  destroyed  the 
American  magazines  at  the  mouth  of  the  Rivanna.  Another  expe 
dition  under  Tarleton  dispersed  the  State  Legislature,  at  Charlottes- 
ville,  but  was  deterred  from  pushing  on  to  Staunton  by  the  militia 
gathering  to  defend  the  mountain  passes.  Tarlton  had  been  taught 
a  lesson  by  his  crushing  defeat  at  the  Cowpens,  a  few  months  earlier. 
Lafayette  recrossed  the  Rapidan  at  Raccoon  Ford.  Cornwallis  at 
tempted  to  strike  him  on  the  flank,  but  wTas  foiled  by  his  adversary, 
\vho  opened  by  night  an  old  path  since  called  the  "Marquis  Road," 
and  took  a  strong  position  behind  Meechums  River  to  protect  his 


10  VIRGINIA  MILITIA  ix   THE  REVOLUTION 

stores.  Cornwallis  did  not  attempt  to  force  conclusions,  but  under 
orders  from  Clinton  retired  toward  the  coast,  followed  by  Lafayette, 
who  on  the  Rapidan  had  been  joined  by  Wayne  with  more  troops 
from  the  army  in  the  North. 

Cornwallis  had  been  ordered  to  take  a  position  on  the  coast,  so 
that  he  might  be  within  supporting  distance  of  Clinton  at  New 
York.  This  movement  turned  out  to  be  his  undoing.  While  execut 
ing  it,  two  small  engagements  occurred  near  Williamsburg.  The 
first  known  at  the  time  as  the  battle  of  Hotwater,  took  place  at 
Jenning's  Ordinary,  seven  miles  to  the  Northwest.  Colonel  Butler, 
a  good  officer  under  Lafayette,  fell  upon  foragers  under  Simcoe,  res 
cued  the  cattle  they  had  taken,  and  handled  the  British  roughly,  but 
was  forced  to  retire  under  the  approach  of  Cornwallis  to  rescue  his 
subordinate.  The  other  fight,  that  of  Green  Spring,  took  place 
near  Old  Jamestown.  The  British  were  about  to  cross  the  James 
at  this  point,  and  Wayne,  who  was  misled  into  thinking  only  a  rear 
guard  was  on  the  north  bank,  made  an  impetuous  charge  against 
greatly  superior  numbers.  He  was  repulsed  with  a  loss  of  118  men 
to  the  enemy's  80,  but  in  alarm  at  the  onslaught,  Cornwallis  did 
not  deem  it  best  to  pursue  and  run  into  a  possible  ambuscade  in 
return. 

Cornwallis  took  post  at  Yorktown.  In  September,  Washington 
arrived  with  a  further  re-enforcement  and  assumed  general  command. 
The  gathering  militia  swelled  the  American  army  to  a  strength  of 
9,000  men,  French  under  Rochambeau  raising  the  total  to  15,000. 
Being  outnumbered  two  to  one  on  land,  and  bottled  up  by  the  French 
fleet  which  commanded  the  bay,  Cornwallis  had  to  succumb  to  the 
inevitable.  With  his  surender  the  war  was  practically  at  an  end. 
During  his  almost  unobstructed  marches  through  the  State,  his 
armies  wrought  damage  after  the  characteristic  British  fashion  in 
the  extent  of  about  $10,000,000,  the  equivalent  of  probably  three 
times  that  sum  at  the  present  day. 

After  the  surrender  of  Burgoyne,  in  1777,  many  of  his  men  were 
sent  to  a  military  prison,  at  Winchester,  others  were  quartered  at 
Albemarle  Barracks  (now  Charlottesville).  The  prisoners  taken  at 
the  Cowpens  were  also  sent  to  Winchester,  as  were  likewise  the  sol 
diers  in  the  army  of  Cornwallis.  To  guard  all  these  prisoners  of  war 
many  details  of  militia  were  called  into  service. 


Virginia  Counties,  Old  and  New 

Before  the  Old  Dominion  was  torn  into  two  states  in  1861-3, 
the  149  counties  of  which  it  was  then  composed  were  grouped  into 
two  Districts;  the  Eastern  and  the  Western,  the  line  between  them 
being  the  crest  of  the  Blue  Ridge.  This  division  was  thoroughly 
well  known,  and  was  recognized  for  administrative  convenience  and 
sundry  other  considerations.  There  has  always  been  a  marked 
difference  in  the  origin,  habits,  and  characteristics  of  the  people  of 
the  two  sections,  and  thus  the  Eastern  District  was  the  "Land  of  the 
Tuckahoe,"  while  the  Western  was  the  "Land  of  the  Cohee." 

Of  the  present  69  counties  of  the  former  Eastern  District,  58 
were  already  in  existence  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Revolution  in  1775. 
During  that  time  of  strife,  four  new  counties  were  formed ;  Fluvanna 
and  Powhatan,  in  1777,  and  Campbell  and  Patrick  in  1781.  Flu 
vanna  was  formed  from  Albemarle,  Powhatan  from  Cumberland, 
Campbell  from  Bedford,  and  Patrick  from  Henry.  Between  1784 
and  1838  seven  more  counties  were  established;  Appomattox,  Frank 
lin,  Greenesville,  Madison,  Nelson,  and  Rappahannock.  \Vith  one 
exception,  all  these  newer  counties  lie  against  the  Blue  Ridge,  and 
therefore  in  the  more  lately  settled  part  of  the  old  Eastern  District. 

The  explanation  given  in  the  above  paragraph  will  make  clear 
why  seven  counties  east  of  the  Blue  Ridge  are  never  alluded  to  by 
name  in  the  military  movements  of  the  Revolution.  The  names  of 
officers  and  soldiers  properly  belonging  to  those  areas  must  therefore 
be  sought  in  the  records  of  the  older  counties  from  which  the  newer 
ones  were  formed. 

In  the  Western  District  the  situation  was  vastly  different.  No 
portion  had  been  settled  for  quite  50  years,  and  to  a  very  great  ex 
tent  it  was  still  an  unoccupied  wilderness.  Because  of  these  facts, 
there  were,  prior  to  1776,  only  seven  organized  counties  instead  of 
the  present  86.  These  seven  were  Augusta,  Berkeley,  Botetourt, 
Dunmore,  Fincastle,  Frederick  and  Hampshire.  Berkeley  then  in 
cluded  Jefferson,  Dunmore  included  most  of  Page,  Frederick  included 
Clarke  and  Warren,  and  Hampshire  included  Morgan,  Mineral, 
Hardy,  and  Grant.  The  remaining  and  far  greater  part  of  the 
Western  District  was  comprised  in  the  enormous  counties  of  Augusta, 


12  VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN   THE  REVOLUTION 

Botetourt,  and  Fincastle,  the  jurisdiction  of  all  of  which  was  as 
serted  as  far  as  the  Ohio  river.  Dunmore  was  soon  renamed  Shenan- 
doah,  and  Fincastle  disappeared  because  of  its  subdivision. 

During  the  war  for  Independence  eight  new  counties  arose  in  the 
Western  District.  Washington  and  Montgomery  were  formed  in 
1776  from  a  part  of  Fincastle.  In  the  same  year,  Ohio,  Monogalia, 
and  Yohogania  were  formed  out  of  the  Northwest  section  of 
Augusta,  the  present  county  still  retaining  a  frontage  on  the  Ohio 
river.  The  other  new  counties,  Rockingham,  Rockbridge,  and  Green- 
brier,  were  formed  in  1778.  Rockingham  covered  all  the  north  of 
Augusta  east  of  the  Alleghany  divide,  and  it  then  included  nearly  all 
of  Pendleton  and  a  portion  of  Page.  Greenbrier,  taken  from  Bote 
tourt,  reached  to  the  Ohio  river,  while  Rockbridge,  formed  from 
both  Augusta  and  Botetourt,  has  always  had  substantially  its  present 
dimensions. 

But  Virginia,  following  the  wording  of  her  charter,  claimed  all 
the  country  to  the  west  and  northwest  as  far  as  the  Mississippi,  and 
the  Great  Lakes,  and  also  that  section  of  Pennsylvania  lying  west  of 
the  meridian,  which  constitutes  the  western  line  of  Maryland.  In 
the  French  and  Indian  and  Revolutionary  wars,  these  claims  were 
maintained  by  force  of  arms.  Thus  Kentucky  County,  taken  from 
Fincastle  in  1776,  afterwards  became  the  State  of  Kentucky.  Illinois 
County  conquered  from  the  British  by  George  Rogers  Clark  and 
established  in  1778,  afterwards  became  the  Territory  Northwest  of 
the  Ohio,  and  out  of  it  were  carved  the  magnificent  states  of  Ohio, 
Indiana,  Illinois,  Michigan,  and  Wisconsin.  A  boundary  dispute 
with  Pennsylvania  was  settled  to  the  advantage  of  the  latter  state. 
By  means  of  it,  Virginia  lost  nearly  all  of  Yohogania  County,  the 
fragment  saved  being  annexed  to  Ohio  County.  She  also  lost  a  large 
part  of  Monongalia. 

The  few  counties  west  of  the  Blue  Ridge  were  not  only  large, 
but  because  of  their  great  extent  they  possessed  a  considerable  popula 
tion.  This  was  particularly  true  of  Augusta  and  the  counties  south 
west  of  it.  It  therefore  explains  the  large  number  of  officers  and  men 
who  came  from  those  counties  as  the  boundaries  then  stood.  Because 
of  the  additional  circumstance  that  their  inhabitants  were  nearly 
all  wrhite,  they  took  a  very  conspicuous  part  in  the  Revolution.  Prob 
ably  no  one  county  furnished  so  many  soldiers  as  Augusta. 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION  13 

One  other  fact  remains  to  be  noticed.  The  Valley  of  Virginia 
had  been  settled  such  a  length  of  time,  that  a  majority  of  the  men 
it  sent  into  the  Revolution  were  native  to  the  soil.  But  this  was  not 
at  all  the  case  west  of  the  Alleghany  divide.  The  settlers  wrest  of  the 
range  were  but  a  handful,  and  very  few  had  been  there  so  long  as  ten 
years.  They  were  immigrants  from  the  older  counties  of  Virginia 
and  from  the  neighboring  states  of  Pennsylvania  and  Maryland.

Declaration  of  Virginia  Militia 
Pensioners 


PART  II 


Section  No.  1 

MASSIE,  THOMAS.*— Nelson,  Feb.  15,  1833.  Born  Aug. 
22,  1748.  In  the  Spring  of  1775  he  was  chosen  captain  of  a  large 
company  of  volunteers  to  assist  in  protecting  Williamsburg  and  the 
country  between  York  and  James  rivers,  against  the  depredations  of 
Lord  Dunmore  and  his  myrmidons.  Within  the  ensuing  fall,  he 
received  a  captain's  commission  to  recruit  a  company  of  Regular 
soldiers  to  serve  in  the  6th  Va.  Reg.  of  the  line  on  continental 
establishment.  His  Company,  being  recruited  at  the  commencement 
of  the  following  spring,  he  marched  it  to  Williamsburg  and  united 
with  the  said  6th  Regiment,  then  under  command  of  Colonels  Buck- 
ner  and  Elliott,  and  Major  Hendricks.  All  the  companies  were 
nearly  complete,  some  he  believes,  quite  so,  viz. :  Capt.  Samuel  Cabell, 
Lieutenants  Barrett  and  Taliaferro,  and  Ensign  Jordan;  Capt. 
Ruffin,  two  lieutenants  and  ensign;  Capt.  Johnson,  two  lieutenants 
and  ensign;  Capt.  Hopkins,  ditto;  Capt.  Garland,  ditto; 
Capt.  Cocke,  ditto;  Capt.  Oliver  Towles  (a  celebrated  law 
yer),  and  company  officers;  Capt.  Gregory,  ditto.  He  believes 
Capt.  Worsham,  or  Dun  and  Avery.  Also  himself  (Capt.  Massie), 
Lieutenants  Hockaday  and  Epperson,  and  Ensign  Armistead.  The 
companies  were  raised  in  different  and  distant  parts  of  the  State,  and 
he  had  not  even  personal  acquaintance  wTith  many  of  them,  which, 


*NOTE: — Except  for  the  introductory  lines,  this  declaration  is  given  in 
full,  the  language  of  the  original  document  being  followed.  It  will  be 
found  of  much  interest.  It  throws  important  light  on  the  treachery  to  the 
American  cause  of  Gen.  Charles  Lee  at  the  battle  of  Monmouth;  a  matter 
which  was  not  fully  cleared  up  by  American  historians  for  seventy  or  more 
years  after  it  occurred. 


48  VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION 

together   with    the   length    of    time,    renders   it    difficult    for   him    to 
remember  every  officer's  name.     After  the   Regiment  was  equipped 
and  armed,  it  marched  out  and  camped  in  the  vicinity  of  Williams- 
burg,  where  it  entered  into  camp  and  military  training;  whence  the 
regiment  wras  ordered  to  march  to  the  North.     Within  the  summer 
following  this  wTas  done  under  the  command  of  Col.  Buckner  and 
Major  Hendricks    (Lieut-Col.    Elliott    having,  withdrawn),    Capt. 
Ruffin  died  and  he  believes  another  officer,  and  several  resigned  or 
withdrew.      The    regiment    marched    through    Virginia    by    wTay    of 
Fredericksburg  and  the  Northern  Neck,  through  the  upper  part  of 
Maryland   into   Pennsylvania   by   way   of    Lancaster,   leaving   Phila 
delphia   to   the   right;   crossed   the   Delaware   River   above   Trenton, 
and   passed    through   Jersey    to    Perth   Amboy,    where    the   regiment 
was  posted  to  defend  that  point  and  the  country  around  until  further 
orders.     Gen.  Washington  at  that  time  having  the  greater  part  of 
the   main   American   army   on    Long   and   York    Islands,    soon    after 
the  defeat  of  that  army  on  those  islands,  he,  with  his  said  regiment, 
was  to  march  up  the  Sound  by  way  of  Newark.     The  storm   and 
capture  of  Fort  Montgomery  taking  place,  he  met  with  Gen.  Putnam 
at  Newark,  and  marched  up  the  North  River  as  high  as  Fort  Lee. 
The  defeated  army  had  crossed  the  Hudson,  except  a  part  that  had 
marched   on    the   east   side   of   that   river   under   command    of    Gen. 
Chas.  Lee.     He,  the  said  Thomas  Massie,  fell  in  the  rear  of  those 
retreating  troops  who  had  been  appointed  to  cover  their  retreat  and 
marched  the  upper  road  by  Springfield,  Scotch  Plains,  etc.,  to  New 
Brunswick,   on    the    Raritan    River,   where   the   troops   to   which    he 
was  attached  were  attacked  by  the  British  Van.     Having  destroyed 
a  part  of  the  bridge,   the  said  American  troops  kept  up   a  hot   fire 
with  their  artillery  and  small  arms,  with  the  British  the  whole  day. 
This  checked  the  progress  so  much  as  to  enable  Gen.  Washington 
to    cross    the    Delaware    River    with    the    retreating    army,    military 
stores,    etc.      The    troops    to   which    he   was    attached    (being   unin- 
cumbered),  also  had  the  good  fortune  to  cross  the  Delaware  with 
out  much  loss.     Gen.  Washington  having  refreshed  the  troops  and 
received    reinforcements    recrossed    the    Delaware    in    the    night    of 
the  24th  of  December    (he  thinks),  surprised  and   defeated   a  large 
body  of   Hessians,  posted  at  Trenton,  captured  about  900  of  their 
number,  and  crossed  the  river  again  with  them.     Several  days  subse 
quent,  Gen.  Washington,  having  received  reinforcements,  again  cross-

He,  the  said  Massie,  was  for  the  two  succeeding  years  generally 
employed  on  detached  or  particular  service,  consequently  was  seldom 
with  the  said  Sixth  Regiment  or  his  company,  which  company  was 
by  this  time  much  reduced.  On  the  1st  day  of  January,  1777,  he 
marched  under  the  command  of  Gen.  Scott  (who  headed  a  con 
siderable  body  of  troops),  on  or  about  the  Princeton  road  and  en 
camped  in  the  evening  on  the  Heights  above  Maiden-head.  Soon 
after  the  van  of  an  army  under  the  command  of  Lord  CornwTallis 
appeared,  followed  by  the  main  body,  said  to  amount  to  12,000 
men,  and  encamped  in  the  place  for  the  night.  By  da\vn  of  the 
next  day  the  enemy  were  in  motion  and  filed  off  in  columns  to  the 
American  left,  apparently  to  surround  them.  The  Americans  dis 
charged  two  light  field  pieces  of  artillery  at  them,  without  return, 
and  retreated  do\vn  the  road  to  a  creek,  which  they  crossed  over 
a  bridge  and  destroyed  the  same,  and  took  possession  of  the  ground 
on  the  Trenton  side  of  the  creek,  then  covered  with  large  forest 
trees.  Gen  Hard  at  that  time,  being  above  with  a  large  corps  of 
Western  Pennsylvania  riflemen,  the  Americans  kept  the  enemy  at 
bay  for  several  hours  (he  believes),  before  he  could  effect  the  passage 
of  the  creek  with  his  large  and  heavy  artillery.  The  Americans 
retreated  up  and  slowly  along  the  road  to  a  summit  of  a  hill,  also 
covered  with  forest  trees.  Here  Gen.  Washington,  accompanied 
by  Gen.  Green  with  reinforcements,  came  up.  Here  the  Americans 
ako  skirmished  (a  considerable  time),  with  the  enemy  before  they 
retreated,  and  ultimately  retreated  to  a  long  hill  perhaps  a  mile  to 
the  west  end  of  Trenton  in  view  of  the  main  American  army. 
Here  they  formed  and  awaited  the  attack  of  the  enemy.  The  day 
being  now  very  far  spent,  the  enemy  appeared  and  approached 
the  Americans  in  columns.  As  they  wrere  displaying  wre  gave  them 
a  fire  in  single  file  from  right  to  left,  and  retreated  under  a 
heavy  fire  of  musketry  and  artillery,  and  formed  under  the  protection 
of  the  main  army  in  Trenton.  A  very  heavy  cannonade  ensued 
directly  between  the  two  armies  that  lasted  until  after  dark  and  has 
been  called  the  cannonade  of  Trenton.  Gen.  Washington,  having 
fortunately  gained  a  grand  point  in  eluding  Cornwallis'  intention 
of  bringing  him  into  a  general  action,  made  up  large  fires  in  front 
and  left  those  who  had  been  in  the  van  during  the  day  to  keep  them 
up.  He  immediately  marched  wTith  his  army,  and  takirg  the 


50  VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION 

Princeton  road,  reached  that  place  early  the  next  morning,  defeat 
ed  Col.  Mahood,  whom  Lord  Cornwallis  had  left  there  with  troops 
to  defend  the  place  and  its  stores.  Gen.  Washington,  having  taken 
off  these  stores,  etc.,  proceeded  down  the  road  by  Kingston  and 
Somerset  Court  House  to  Morristown,  wrhere  he  established  posts 
on  the  Raritan  in  Jersey,  viz.,  at  Perth  Amboy,  Bonnontown  and 
Brunswick.  Gen  Washington  also  established  a  line  of  posts  oppo 
site  to  them  writh  a  view  of  preventing  the  British  garrisons  from 
having  intercourse  with  and  marauding  the  country.  He,  the  said 
Massie,  was  placed  on  this  duty  at  Middle  Post,  Matuchen,  under 
the  command  of  Col.  Hendricks,  and  served  on  it  near  five  months. 
This  duty  was  extremely  severe  by  night  as  well  as  by  day,  con 
stant  patrolling,  frequent  skirmishes,  some  of  them  very  bloody, 
nocturnal  surprises,  the  cutting  off  of  pickets,  etc.,  always  attended 
with  loss  of  men  and  great  fatigue.  The  British  called  in  their 
posts  about  the  first  of  June,  and  the  American  ports  were  evacu 
ated  about  the  middle  of  June.  He,  with  the  other  officers,  etc.,  who 
had  been  in  this  line  of  duty,  joined  the  main  army  at  Middlebrook. 
Sometime  after,  he  and  five  other  officers  were  sent  to  Virginia  with 
instructions.  He,  on  his  return,  joined  the  army  under  Gen.  Wash 
ington  at  the  White  Marsh  Hills.  Shortly  after,  Gen  Morgan  re 
turned  with  troops  from  the  capture  of  Burgone's  army.  Our  army 
then  marched  into  wrinter  quarters  by  way  of  the  gulf  to  Valley 
Forge.  He  was  soon  detailed  on  duty  under  Gen.  Morgan,  who 
was  to  take  post  at  Radnor,  about  half  way  between  Valley  Forge 
and  the  mouth  of  the  Schuylkill  River,  with  a  view  of  cutting  off 
the  communication  of  the  enemy  from  that  part  of  the  country  wrhich 
was  effected.  About  this  time  (Feb.,  1778),  he  was  promoted  to 
the  rank  of  Major.  In  the  Spring  he  commanded  a  large  guard 
low  in  the  lines  not  far  above  Philadelphia.  Here  he  received  Lord 
Cathcart,  aide  to  Gen.  Clinton,  with  a  flag  of  truce  and  dispatches 
for  Congress.  Agreeably  to  orders,  he,  Cathcart,  was  not  permitted  to 
proceed  further.  The  dispatches  were  read  and  delivered  to  Gen. 
Morgan.  Immediately  after,  Gen.  Clinton  evacuated  Philadelphia. 
He  (Massie),  marched  under  Gen.  Morgan,  through  the  city,  pro 
ceeded  up  and  crossed  the  river,  and  united  with  the  main  army. 
He,  with  Major  Gibbs,  was  detailed  to  attend  Gen.  Morgan,  wrho 
was  appointed  to  command  the  light  troops,  etc.,  to  interrupt  and 
endeavor  to  retard  the  march  of  the  British  army  through  Jersey 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION  51 

to  Sandy  Hook.  The  first  attempt  to  retard  their  march  was  made 
at  Allentown.  This  stopped  them  a  day  and  some  prisoners  were 
taken.  The  second  attempt  was  a  complete  surprise,  from  thick 
shrubbery  in  the  pines,  where  16  to  18  prisoners  were  brought  off 
and  a  few  killed  with  little  loss  to  the  Americans.  Several  other 
attempts  were  made  to  alarm  and  retard  their  march  which  succeeded 
so  far  as  to  enable  Gen.  Washington  to  march  with  his  main  army 
by  Englishtown  and  obtain  a  position  which  gave  him  the  power  of 
bringing  Gen.  Clinton  to  a  general  engagement,  in  which  it  is  be 
lieved  he  would  have  been  entirely  successful  except  for  the  flagrant 
disobedience  of  orders  by  Gen.  Chas.  Lee,  who  commanded  the  van 
of  the  American  Army.  On  that,  the  28th  day  of  June,  1778  (an 
intense  hot  day),  Gen.  Washington  ordered  Gen.  Lee  to  attack  in 
full  force.  This,  the  said  Massie,  knows  to  be  the  fact,  the  orders 
having  been  communicated  verbally  by  Gen.  Washington  through 
him  (the  said  Massie),  the  evening  before.  On  Gen.  Lee's  approach, 
the  British  army  drew  up  in  order  for  battle.  Gen.  Lee  ordered  a 
retreat  which  was  done  under  a  slow  retreating  fire  for  some  time. 
Gen.  Lee  repeatedly  sent  orders  to  the  officers  commanding  the 
several  flanking  corps  not  to  advance  and  engage.  This  state  of 
things  continued  until  Gen.  Washington  came  into  the  field  himself, 
took  the  command,  arrested  Gen.  Lee,  and  renewed  the  battle  by- 
bringing  the  troops  into  action.  The  battle  at  Monmouth  Court 
House  was  a  bloody  and  hard  fought  action.  After  the  sunset  the 
British  army  gave  way,  and  it  being  too  dark  for  pursuit,  the  Ameri 
can  army  lay  on  the  field  for  the  night,  with  a  view  to  renew  the 
battle  the  next  day;  but  the  British  army  in  the  night  made  a  silent 
and  rapid  retreat,  leaving  their  dead  and  wounded.  Gen.  Morgan, 
under  whose  command  he,  the  said  Massie,  still  acted  was  ordered  to 
pursue  the  British  early  next  morning,  but  they  could  not  be  overtaken 
except  two  or  three  hundred  stragglers  that  were  captured.  Pursuit 
was  continued  to  Middleton  Heights  immediately  above  Sandy  Hook. 
After  being  there  and  thereabouts  for  several  days,  the  troops  march 
ed  up  by  Sposwood  to  Brunswick  bridge  on  the  Raritan  River. 
Here  we  had  a  feu  de  joie  in  honor  of  the  victory  of  Monmouth. 
From  thence  he  marched  to  King's  Ferry  on  the  Hudson  River 
and  crossed  to  the  White  Plains  in  New  York.  Here  he  remained 
several  weeks.  From  there,  he,  with  several  other  officers,  was  order 
ed  to  Rhode  Island  to  assist  Gen.- Sullivan  at  the  siege  of  Newport, 


52  VIRGINIA  MILITIA  ix  THE  REVOLUTION 

then  in  the  possession  of  the  British.  A  violent  storm,  however, 
with  rain,  etc.,  for  several  days  having  driven  Count  D'Estrey's 
fleet  from  the  mouth  of  the  harbor  out  to  sea,  rendered  it  impracti 
cable  for  Gen.  Sullivan  to  proceed  with  the  siege;  he  consequently 
retired  from  the  island,  and  the  said  Massie  with  the  other  officers 
detached  as  above  stated  returned  and  rejoined  their  respective  regi 
ments  then  encamped  on  the  Hudson  some  distance  above  West 
Point,  and  on  the  opposite  side. 

Soon  after  this,  the  surprise  and  capture  of  Baylor's  newly  raised 
regiment  of  cavalry  near  Heroington,  happened,  when  he  with  his 
regiment  marched  under  the  command  of  Gens.  Woodford  and 
Morgan  with  their  troops  to  that  neighborhood  and  took  post  on 
the  strong  heights  of  Paramus.  By  this  time  a  large  British  force 
(said  to  amount  to  6,000),  under  the  command  of  Lord  Cornwallis, 
had  taken  possession  of  the  town  of  Hackensack,  with  a  view  of 
foraging  the  country,  in  which  they  did  not  succeed  to  much  extent, 
owing  to  the  vigilance  of  the  American  troops  in  attacking  and  re 
pulsing  their  foraging  parties.  In  a  few  weeks  the  British  army 
returned  to  New  York,  and  the  said  Massie  with  his  regiment  under 
the  command  of  Col.  Febiger  was  posted  at  Hackensack.  Soon  after 
this  Col.  Febiger  was  called  off,  and  the  said  Massie  was  left  in  the 
sole  command  of  the  regiment.  This  was  the  second  Virginia  regi 
ment  on  continental  establishment.  The  officers  were  Captains  Tay 
lor,  Parker,  Calmen,  Catlett,  Stokes,  Kennan,  Gill,  etc.,  as  well  as 
recollected  at  the  distant  date.  He  continued  there  until  after  the 
middle  of  December,  when  he  with  his  command  pursuant  to  orders 
marched  into  winter  quarters  at  Boundbrook,  on  the  north  side  of 
Raritan  River  (under  the  command  of  Gen.  Lord  Sterling,  who 
commanded  that  division  of  the  army),  where  he  continued  quietly 
for  a  considerable  time.  The  British  were  confined  to  New  York 
and  its  environs  and  employed  in  arranging  and  strengthening  their 
posts  of  defense.  Their  embarcation  of  troops  to  our  Southern  States 
and  other  occurrence  demonstrated  the  intention  of  moving  the  main 
seat  of  war  there,  with  a  view  to  attempt  the  subjugation  of  those 
states.  Time  progressing,  it  was  known  that  Congress  had  determined 
to  defend  and  save  Charleston,  if  possible,  and  that  the  eight  old 
Virginia  regiments  were  doomed  to  that  service.  Those  (8)  regi 
ments  were  then  so  much  reduced  in  number  that  they  were  con 
solidated  into  (?)  regiments  (March,  1780).  The  officers  whose 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION  53 

commissions  bore  the  highest  rank,  of  course,  took  the  command. 
The  said  Massie  was  of  consequence  a  supernumerary  officer,  and, 
with  Gen.  Washington's  permission,  returned  to  Virginia,  holding 
his  commission  (which  he  at  this  time  has),  ready  and  subject  to 
duty  with  other  supernumerary  officers  whenever  called  on  or  re 
quired. 

He  ranked  as  Major  on  the  20th  of  February,  1778,  but  did 
not  take  his  commission  from  the  war  office  (not  having  leisure  to 
call  for  it),  until  the  20th  of  March,  1779.  His  commission  as 
captain  was  literally  worn  and  rubbed  out  in  his  pocket  while  on 
duty  from  the  constant  exposure  to  rain,  hail  and  snow  day  and  night. 
He  acted  alternately,  under  the  command  of  Gens.  Scott,  Weedon, 
Sullivan,  Morgan,  Woodford,  Gen.  Lord  Sterling,  etc.  He  was 
afterwards  under  the  command  of  Gen.  Nelson  as  aidecamp  in  the 
winter  of  1780  and  1781,  when  Arnold  invaded  Virginia  and  de 
stroyed  the  public  stores  and  houses  at  Richmond  and  arsenal  and 
foundry,  etc.,  at  Westham,  and  was  finally  at  the  siege  of  Yorktown, 
and  the  surrender  of  that  post  w^ith  the  British  army,  in  October, 
1781. 

After  'the  ratification  of  the  treaty  of  peace,  he  received  five 
thousand,  three  hundred  and  thirty-three  and  a  third  acres  of  land 
in  the  states  of  Ohio  and  Kentucky  (the  patents  for  which  he  now 
has),  in  consideration  of  his  services  as  Major  aforesaid.  He  like 
wise  received  some  three  per  cent  and  six  per  cent  certificates,  not 
worth  much  at  the  time,  afterwards  sold,  amount  not  recollected.

HUTCHISON,  WILLIAM.— Monroe,  Oct.  17,  1835.  Born 
in  Augusta,  1757.  In  1776  volunteered  one  year  under  Capt.  John 
Henderson  to  guard  the  frontier.  Began  service  in  May  at  Cook's 
Fort.  Marched  across  New  River  through  the  present 
County  of  Giles,  then  thinly  peopled,  and  served  as  ranger,  being  on

constant  duty.  The  next  spring  volunteered  under  Capt.  Archibald 
Wood  to  serve  so  long  as  the  Indians  might  be  troublesome.  In  the 
fall  the  company  marched  up  Bluestone  to  the  settlement  near  its 
head,  to  protect  the  people  gathering  their  fodder.  He  was  in  places 
where  probably  few  persons  except  Indians  had  ever  been.  Thus 
served  four  years  (excepting  one  year  that  he  and  two  others  were 
detailed  as  spies  by  Capt.  Woods),  arduously  and  almost  constantly 
ranging  back  and  forth  from  Cook's  fort  to  Wood's  fort  on  Rich 
Creek.  The  country  was  wild  and  mountainous.  Frequently  he  car 
ried  orders  in  the  night  time,  when  he  could  hear  not  far  off  the 
yell,  the  whistle,  or  the  weary  tread  of  the  savage.  If  orders  were  to 
be  sent  express  he  was  the  man  generally  selected.  Such  service, 
however  difficult  or  dangerous,  he  always  performed,  and  as  he  be 
lieves  to  the  full  satisfaction  of  his  captain  and  fellow-soldiers. 
During  the  year  that  himself,  Philip  Cavender,  and  Nicholas  Wood- 
fin  were  detailed  as  spies  by  Capt.  Wood,  he  served  at  the  imminent 
hazard  of  his  life,  lying  out  by  night  with  no  covering  but  his 
blanket  and  no  shelter  but  the  forest,  the  scream  of  the  panther  or 
the  yell  of  the  Indian  reminded  him  of  his  duty  to  his  country. 
After  four  years  Capt.  Gray,  of  Rockbridge  took  command  of  the 
company.  In  the  spring  of  1782,  all  signs  of  the  savage  disappearing 
from  near  the  settlements,  he  left  the  service.  When  ordered  by 
Capt.  Gray  to  the  head  of  Bluestone,  after  marching  twenty  miles, 
all  but  himself  refused  to  go  further.  An  old  man  named  McGuire 
wished  to  go  to  the  settlement,  and  one  David  Clay  showing  the 
way,  we  started  and  soon  found  wre  were  pursued  by  some  10  or  12 
Indians.  Sometimes  we  were  in  mud  to  our  knees,  or  in  water  to 
our  necks.  At  dark  the  pursuers  set  up  a  tremendous  yell,  but  we 
heard  no  more  of  them,  and  at  length  arrived  where  we  were 
ordered,  declarant  having  traveled  40  miles  that  day  after  nine  in 
the  morning.

PRYOR,  WILLIAM.— Amherst,  Oct.  15,  1832.  Born  in 
Albemarle  (now  Amherst),  about  1752.  Moved  to  the  Great 
Kanawha  in  fall  of  1773,  and  planted  corn  next  spring,  but  was 
driven  back  to  Amherst  by  Indians.  Was  at  Point  Pleasant,  spring 
of  1775,  and  there  saw  Capt.  Isaac  Shelby,  who  had  been  left  with 
the  wounded  after  the  battle  the  preceding  October.  Early  in  1776 
the  Indians  were  so  troublesome  that  he,  with  many  others  had  to 
take  shelter  in  the  fort  at  Point  Pleasant,  and  here  substituted  for 
James  Frazer,  in  the  command  of  Capt.  Matthew  Arbuckle,  who 
was  in  charge  of  the  fort.  The  subalterns  were  Lieutenants  Andrew 
Wallace,  James  Thompson  and  Ensigns  Samuel  Wood  and  James 
McNutt.  After  serving  out  eight  months  for  Frazer  in  the  fall 
he  enlisted  under  Arbuckle  for  two  years.  About  this  time  Capt. 
William  McKee,  Lt.  James  Gilmer,  and  many  privates  came  to 
Point  Pleasant  and  were  stationed  under  Arbuckle.  Was  often 
sent  on  detail  with  others  up  the  Kanawha  to  a  plantation  to  get 
corn,  and  was  often  a  spy  or  on  guard  on  the  Ohio  above  the  fort. 
In  the  fall  of  1777,  Colonels  Skillern  and  Dickinson  came  on  an 
expedition  against  the  Shawnee  towns.  He  met  this  force  at  the 
mouth  of  Elk.  Among  others  of  them  were  James  Harrison  and 
Micajah  Goodwin.  When  they  reached  the  fort,  Lt.  Gilmer  went 
over  the  Kanawha  to  shoot  turkeys  and  was  there  killed  by  unknown 
Indians.  As  soon  as  Gilmer's  body  was  brought  to  the  fort  his  men 
murdered  Cornstalk,  his  son  Ellinipsico,  and  another  Indian,  these 
Indians  being  held  as  hostages  for  the  safety  of  the  garrison  and 
the  settlers.  While  Skillern  and  Dickenson  were  at  Point  Pleasant, 
Gen.  Hand,  of  the  Continental  army,  came  from  Pittsburg  and 
ordered  a  return,  saying  it  was  too  late  in  the  season  to  attack 
Chillicothe  and  other  Indian  towns.  Hand  ordered  Arbuckle  and 
McKee  to  shorten  the  pay  and  daily  allowance  of  their  men,  saying 
they  feasted  too  high.  When  this  order  was  put  into  execution 
almost  every  man  in  the  fort  shouldered  his  gun  and  put  on  his 
knapsack,  resolving  to  go  home.  But  Col.  McDowell  told  Hand 
of  the  impolicy  of  such  measure  and  obtained  permission  to  address 
the  men,  who  on  being  promised  their  former  pay  and  allowance, 
returned  to  duty.  He  himself  took  no  part  in  the  mutiny.  Because 
of  the  murder  of  Cornstalk,  the  Shawnees,  in  the  spring  of  1778, 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION  85 

mustered  all  their  strength  and  besieged  Point  Pleasant  several  days. 
They  killed  Paddy  Sherman  and  wounded  Lt.  Gilmer.  Finding 
they  could  not  take  the  fort  they  killed  all  the  stock  of  the  garrison 
and  then  started  for  the  Greenbrier  settlements.  We  knew  of  this 
from  the  Grenadier  Squaw,  said  to  be  a  sister  of  Cornstalk.  She 
had  taken  shelter  in  the  fort  soon  after  its  erection,  and  continued 
with  us.  When  her  own  stock  was  killed  she  went  out  with  spirits 
and  became  intoxicated,  but  overheard  the  Indians  and  told  the 
officers  of  their  plans.  Capt.  McKee  then  proposed  that  if  any 
two  men  would  go  out  and  warn  the  Greenbrier  people,  he  would 
so  extend  their  furloughs  as  to  be  equivalent  to  a  discharge,  which 
itself  he  could  not  grant.  John  Inchminger  and  John  Logan 
accepted  and  started,  but  returned  the  same  evening.  Philip  Ham 
mond  and  myself  then  agreed  to  go,  but  I  gave  way  to  my  older  brother, 
John,  whom  Hammond  preferred  and  who  was  more  experienced 
in  Indian  wrarfare.  They  were  dressed  in  Indian  style  by  the 
Granadier  Squaw,  and  passed  the  Indians  at  some  meadow  about 
12  miles  from  Donally's  fort.  They  gave  information  and  the  set 
tlers  had  been  in  the  fort  but  a  little  while  wrhen  the  Indians 
attacked  and  a  dreadful  conflict  ensued.  Capt.  Arbuckle  was  then 
in  Greenbrier  visiting  his  family.  He  and  Capt.  Lewis  raised  a 
company  and  forced  their  way  into  the  fort.  The  Indians  were 
driven  off  with  much  loss  and  Greenbrier  was  thus  saved.  During 
this  expedition  of  the  Indians,  Gen.  Clark  stopped  at  Point  Pleasant 
on  his  way  to  take  Vincennes.  In  the  autumn  of  1778,  there  was 
a  man  in  the  fort  named  Morgan  who  had  been  a  prisoner  among 
the  Indians  many  )-ears.  A  squawT  with  him  was  said  to  be  his 
wife.  Morgan  was  in  custody  and  ironed,  and  was  to  be  taken  to 
his  father  who  had  offered  a  large  reward  for  his  return.  But 
finding  himself  lightly  guarded,  he  and  the  squaw  ran  off  and  were 
never  again  heard  of.  Suspecting  he  would  reach  the  Indian  towns 
and  tell  that  our  time  wTas  nearly  out,  and  that  many  of  us  would 
soon  leave,  the  officers  discharged  many,  including  myself.  In  1779 
was  drafted  from  Amherst  for  a  three  months'  tour  a  little  below 
Richmond.  He  served  under  Capt.  Samuel  Higgenbotham,  of  Col. 
Christian's  regiment,  and  among  his  comrades  were  Zedekiah  Shu- 
maker,  William  Brown,  and  Samuel  Allen.  In  1780,  he  was  out 
three  months  under  Capt.  Richard  Ballinger,  serving  at  Fort  Powha- 
tan,  below  Richmond,  now  (1832),  Fort  Jefferson.  Among  his  com-

rades  this  tour  were  an  elder  brother,  Nicholas  Pryor,  and  Richard 
Tankersly. 

Zedekiah  Shumaker  certified  he  served  with  declarant  at  Point 
Pleasant  and  below  Richmond.

pasture  River  to  Kentucky,  in  1783,  and  died  there  in  1818,  aged  92,  it  is 
stated  that  he  was  out  on  a  scout  the  day  before  the  attack  on  Donally's 
Fort,  and  by  means  of  his  dog  detected  the  approach  of  the  Indians,  and 
was  thus  enabled  to  warn  the  settlement.  Houston's  wife  was  Nancy 
McCreery,  and  he  settled  in  Fayette  County.

1761.  Drafted  in  Rockingham  about  June  1,  1779,  to  go  to  North 
Fork  of  South  Branch  of  Potomac  against  the  Indians,  marching 
under  Capt.  Robert  Craven.  While  stationed  there  the  Captain 
received  a  commission  to  raise  a  company  under  a  proclamation  of 
the  governor  of  South  Carolina,  offering  1,000  pounds  of  tobacco 
($33.33)  to  each  volunteer.  Applicant  accepted  the  position  of  cor 
poral  under  said  offer.  With  four  others  he  returned  with  Capt. 
Craven  to  Rockingham,  after  being  out  about  two  months.  The 
company  wTas  soon  raised  and  started  south  about  Sept.  1.  At 
Hillsboro  they  lay  two  weeks  waiting  for  other  troops.  They 
marched  thence  under  Gen.  Stevens  to  Cheraw  Mills  where  they  join 
ed  the  army  under  Gen.  Greene.  A  detachment  was  sent  out  to  sur 
prise  some  tories  at  the  Black  Swamp.  The  tories  dispersed,  but 
fourteen  prisoners  wTere  taken.  Part  of  the  detachment  was  sent  back 
with  the  prisoners,  the  other  part  marching  to  Georgetown,  where 
twenty-eight  prisoners  and  some  supplies  were  taken.  Another  guard 
was  sent  off  with  the  new  prisoners,  the  rest  of  the  force  joining 
Gen.  Morgan  about  36  hours  before  the  battle  of  the  Cowpens. 
In  the  night  the  army  moved  about  half  a  mile  to  the  place  chosen 
for  a  fight.  Men  were  left  to  keep  up  the  fires  till  daylight.  The 
battle  began  about  sunrise.  Declarant  was  in  the  riflemen,  on  the 
right  of  the  army,  and  in  the  third  company  from  the  right.  They 
had  the  pleasure  of  taking  600  prisoners.  Then  the  army  moved 
back  before  Cornwallis'  army  to  Salisbury,  where  declarant's  com 
pany  was  detailed  on  the  guard  to  convey  the  prisoners  to  Virginia.

By  the  time  the  army  was  fairly  across  the  Yadkin,  the  advance  of 
the  British  were  on  the  other  bank,  but  as  the  river  was  rising  fast, 
they  could  not  cross.  The  company's  baggage  wagon  was  lost,  not 
being  taken  along.  At  Pittsylvania  C.  H.  they  delivered  their 
prisoners  to  the  militia  of  that  county  and  were  discharged  in  Rock- 
ingham  in  April.  Declarant  sold  his  bounty  as  part  pay  for  a  horse. 
In  June,  1781,  volunteered  as  sergeant  under  Capt.  Jeremiah  Beas- 
ley,  and  marched  to  Eastern  Virginia,  where  command  was

man  of  the  company  was  killed  and  fourteen  wounded.  In  the  battle  of 
Jamesto\vn,  he  was  on  the  right,  where  there  was  little  danger,  but

SCOTT,  WILLIAM.— Prince  Edward,  Sept.  17,  1832.  Born 
in  Ireland,  Dec.  3,  1757.  Enlisted  1775  or  1776  from  Charlotte 
County  for  a  term  of  one  year  in  the  militia.  His  company  officers 
were  Capt.  Wm.  Collier  and  Lt.  Douglas  Watson.  Joined  his  regi 
ment  at  Petersburg,  commanded  by  Col.  Ruffin  and  Maj.  Glenn. 
The  march  was  then  by  way  of  Williamsburg  and  Yorktown  to 
Gwin's  Island,  where  there  was  fighting  several  days  with  the  British 
under  Lord  Dunmore.  Several,  he  thinks  seven,  ships  were  de 
stroyed  after  Dunmore  was  driven  out.  The  enemy  then  went  up 
the  river,  the  army  watching  his  movements.  News  arriving  that 
the  Indians  were  troublesome  on  the  frontier,  the  regiment,  wThich 
was  armed  writh  rifles,  marched  to  Holston  river.  A  few  days 
before  its  arrival  there  had  been  a  battle  between  the  vanguard  and 
the  Indians.  The  main  body  of  the  army  went  in  pursuit,  his  regi 
ment,  then  commanded  by  Col.  Morgan  being  stationed  at  Holston 
(Long)  Island,  where  it  remained  until  the  time  of  service  expired. 
He  had  no  written  discharge  because  of  the  unpopularity  of  Morgan. 
The  day  before  the  discharge  was  to  take  place,  the  soldiers  were 
told  they  would  be  mustered  for  the  purpose.  Next  morning  some 
men  who  wished  to  show  their  dislike  to  the  Colonel  broke  his 
sword  near  the  hilt  and  shaved  the  mane  and  tail  of  his  horse.

Morgan  rode  off  in  a  rage  without  issuing  regular  discharges,  but 
saying  he  would  do  so  at  New  London,  Bedford  County.  He 
did  not  meet  the  men  there  nor  did  they  get  any  written  discharge. 
In  February,  1778,  applicant  was  drafted  in  Charlotte  for  a  term, 
he  believes,  of  two  years.  He  hired  John  Scott  as  a  substitute, 
gave  him  100  pounds,  and  got  a  discharge  for  himself  from  Thomas 
Reed,  the  same  stating  the  services  was  from  Feb.  10,  1778,  to  March 
16,  1778.  The  last  tour  was  in  1779,  \vhen  he  was  drafted  about 
Feb.  1st  into  Capt.  William  Morton's  Company,  and  marched  south. 
At  Salisbury,  N.  C.,  the  command  was  joined  by  other  Virginia 
troops  and  marched  through  Charlotte  and  Camden  to  the  main 
army  under  Gen  Lincoln.  While  there  an  attempt  was  made  to 
storm  a  British  fort  at  Stono  Ferry,  but  the  attack  was  repulsed. 
His  discharge  is  dated  July  13,  1779,  and  is  signed  by  Maj.  William 
Hubbard,  of  the  Virginia  Brigade.  Applicant  came  to  America  in

In  October,  joined  the  regiment  at  Fredericksburg,  remaining  there 
five  or  six  weeks,  then  marching  to  Reading,  Pa.,  where  he  was  inocu 
lated  for  the  smallpox.  In  February,  1778,  the  troop  marched  to 
the  Raritan,  and  next  month  to  Valley  Forge.  Here  the  Fourth 
Troop,  to  which  he  belonged,  commanded  by  Capt.  Cadwallader 
Jones,  was  employed  by  Gen.  Morgan  in  preventing  the  people  of  the 
county  from  furnishing  supplies  to  the  enemy  and  in  watching  the 
movements  of  the  latter.  In  the  action  at  Monmouth,  affiant  wras 
under  the  immediate  command  of  Maj.  Clough,  of  Lee's  division. 
The  regiment  then  proceeded  to  Hackensack,  remaining  there  five 
or  six  weeks,  then  moving  up  the  river.  Sept.  23,  it  was  surprised 
by  Gen.  Gray  while  asleep  in  barns.  No  quarter  was  given  except 
to  the  Fourth  Troop,  all  of  wThom  were  made  prisoners,  except 
affiant  and  John  Walker,  who  escaped  by  getting  in  among  the 
enemy.  Col.  Baylor  was  wounded  and  Maj.  Clough  was  killed. 
Next  day  affiant  joined  the  remnant  of  the  regiment  and  wintered 
at  Frederick,  Md.  In  the  spring  they  wrere  joined  by  the  Fourth 
Troop,  now  exchanged,  and  by  some  new  recruits.  Col.  William 
Washington  now  took  command,  and  they  returned  to  New  Jersey, 
again  being  employed  in  watching  the  enemy  and  preventing  trading 
with  him.  Near  the  close  of  1780,  they  marched  south,  arriving 
near  Charleston,  S.  C.,  in  March,  1780.  Shortly  after,  learning 
that  Tarleton  was  on  his  way  from  Savannah  to  Charleston,  Wash 
ington  whipped  him,  taking  sixteen  prisoners,  including  a  colonel 
and  a  doctor.  But  later,  Washington  was  surprised  and  defeated 
at  Monk's  Corner.  The  attack  was  so  sudden  that  although  the 
horses  were  saddled  and  bridled,  there  wras  not  time  to  mount. 
Affiant  was  captured  and  after  being  dragged  about  with  the  army 
of  Cornwallis  some  ten  days,  was  put  into  a  prison  ship  till  after  the 
surrender  of  Charleston.  He  was  then  placed  in  the  barracks,  there, 
but  this  being  inconvenient  to  the  British,  he  was  again  put  on 
board  a  prison  ship  and  confined  till  about  August,  when  he  was 
exchanged  at  Jamestown,  Va.  At  Malvern  Hills  he  found  Capt. 
Cadwallader  Jones,  and  was  sent  on  to  Maj.  Call  of  Washington's 
regiment,  who  was  recruiting  in  Orange,  Albemarle,  and  Goochland. 
After  the  surrender  of  Cornwallis  he  was  discharged  in  South  Caro 
lina,  in  the  fall  of  1782.  Bartlett  Fitzgerald,  a  comrade,  certifies 
that  in  Grey's  surprise  Hight  was  cut  down  and  left  as  dead.

HEWITT,  JOHN.— Botetourt,  Sept.  5,  1833.  Born  Nov.  14, 
1763,  in  Botetourt.  Volunteered  in  Continental  Line,  Sept.  8,  1780, 
for  six  months,  but  order  to  march  did  not  come  till  Oct.  27.  Went 
out  under  Capt.  James  Robinson,  Nov.  5,  were  joined  by  Capt. 
Alexander  Handly's  company,  and  marching  under  Maj.  David 
Campbell  joined  Morgan  two  days  after  the  battle  of  the  Co\vpens. 
There  took  the  place  of  the  Augusta  and  Rockbridge  militia,  who 
were  about  to  be  discharged.  They  acted  bravely  in  the  battle  and 
guarded  the  prisoners  to  Virginia.  Affiant's  command  was  sent 
down  the  Catawba  to  act  in  concert  with  Gen.  Davidson  at  Mc- 
Cowan's  Ford,  and  by  felling  timber  along  the  bank  to  prevent  the 
enemy  from  crossing.  A  few  hours  after  this  preparation  had  been 
made  a  detachment  of  the  enemy  appeared  on  the  opposite  bank. 
As  we  were  about  to  fire  on  them  they  retired.  Before  daylight  next 
morning  the  British  opened  a  heavy  artillery  fire  on  Gen.  Davidson, 
who  commanded  lower  down  the  river.  After  daylight  they  forced 
the  passage  and  Davidson  was  killed.  Meanwhile  in  a  cold  dark 
dash  with  heavy  rain,  the  affiant's  command  got  into  the  road  on  which 
Gen.  Morgan  was  retreating  and  came  up  with  it  on  the  Yadkin, 
which  was  very  much  swollen  by  the  rains.  It  was  daybreak  before 
the  North  Carolina  militia  got  over,  and  took  position  a  half  mile  up 
the  river  from  the  direct  road  to  Salisbury.  Next  night  they  were 
attacked  by  a  strong  detachment  of  infantry  supported  by  cavalry, 
and  compelled  to  retreat.  The  army  got  over  with  the  exception  of 
a  small  part  of  the  baggage.  The  last  boat  had  put  off  when  the 
British  cavalry  reached  the  river  and  fired  on  it  with  pistols,  but 
without  effect.  In  our  skirmish,  Capt.  Hanley  and  John  Allen 
were  taken  prisoners  and  a  few  men  killed.  The  most  of  those 
who  escaped  had  to  cross  the  river  in  canoes.  When  the  scattered 
troops  assembled  they  marched  to  Guilford  C.  H.,  where  they  were 
permitted  to  rest  a  while,  the  enemy  being  detained  by  the  flood  in 
the  Yadkin.  Then  they  marched  to  Bruce's  crossroad  on  the  way 
where  Col.  -  -  was  cut  to  pieces  by  the  British  cavalry.  The 

retreat  continued  till  the  Dan  was  crossed.  After  the  Yadkin  was 
crossed  the  army  was  commanded  by  Col.  Williams.  From  the  day 
after  the  battle  of  Cowpens  they  were  employed  night  and  day  in 
throwing  every  possible  difficulty  in  the  enemy's  path.  The  men 


VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION  115 

were  without  tents  and  often  without  provisions.  The  fatigue,  pri 
vation,  and  loss  of  sleep  brought  on  sickness  and  death  in  that  in 
clement  season.  When  the  two  rifle  companies  crossed  the  Dan  the 
111  men  were  reduced  to  17,  and  there  were  no  officers  but  the 
major,  who  gave  the  remnant  a  verbal  discharge,  affiant  being  one 
of  the  17.  He  volunteered  Aug.  6,  1781,  and  marched  to  the  siege 
of  Yorktown  under  Maj.  Patrick  Locke,  and  after  the  surrender 
guarded  prisoners  to  four  miles  beyond  Winchester,  where  he  w7as 
discharged  the  middle  of  November.

Gilmer.  An  attack  by  the  Indians  was  repulsed  and  the  savages 
then  turned  to  Donally's  Fort  in  Greenbrier.  Two  bold  and  daring 
soldiers,  dressed  in  Indian  costume,  made  their  way  thither  and 
apprised  the  settlers  of  their  danger  in  time  to  save  them  from 
extermination.  Was  employed  as  Indian  scout  in  1778-9  over  a

Webb  received  orders  to  follow  writh  about  ten  wagons  loaded 
with  flour  and  meal  and  a  drove  of  400  hogs.  We  wrere  in  the 
rear  of  both  armies,  and  had  to  change  our  course  because  of 
Cornwallis'  march.  In  Mecklenburg  we  delivered  the  supplies  to  a 
commissary,  having  safely  brought  them  through  a  region  infested

Givens  for  three  months.  One  month  later  reached  headquarters  of 
Gen.  Muhlenberg  near  Dismal  Swamp.  The  traitor,  Arnold,  with 
1,600  British  was  fortifying  himself  in  Portsmouth.  Affiant  volun 
teered  in  a  company  of  50  under  Capt.  Jesse  Saunders,  Lt.  David 
Caldwell,  and  Ensign  Carter,  of  Col.  Dick's  and  Maj.  Thomas'  regi 
ments.  Two  companies  of  infantry  were  in  two  miles  in  front  of  the 
main  army  toward  Arnold's  line.  We  often  skirmished,  killed  some  of 
the  enemy  and  taking  some  prisoners.  Capt.  Armand,  a  Frenchman 
who  commanded  a  company  of  light  horse,  charged  on  the  enemy's 
guard  and  took  them  all,  without  a  gun  being  fired  on  either  side. 
The  enemy  at  one  time  came  out  of  their  wrorks  and  fired  on  us,  but 
on  our  advance  they  retired.  Our  only  damage  was  one  man  wounded 
in  the  thigh.  We  marched  against  a  fort  on  the  Blackwater  held 
by  the  British,  who  fired  on  us  with  cannon,  but  for  wrant  of  artillery 
we  made  no  attack.  After  dark  they  sent  a  boat  down  the  river 
for  reinforcements.  We  took  the  boat  with  an  officer,  eight  men, 
and  some  clothing.  We  also  took  some  horses  around  the  fort. 
Arnold  evacuated  Portsmouth  in  March.  We  were  discharged  in 
April.  Middle  of  next  August  called  out  under  Capt.  Andrew 
Wallace  and  marched  for  Yorktown  to  join  Washington's  army. 
When  within  two  miles  we  laid  out  our  camp  and  went  to  digging 
trenches.  Affiant  and  three  others  of  company  were  employed  in

moved  our  guns  nearer.  Generals  Lafeyette,  Wayne,  and  Lincoln 
I  saw  frequently  writh  the  men  in  the  entrenchments.  Gen  Knox, 
the  commander  of  the  artillery,  was  one  day  at  one  of  the  batteries 
looking  through  his  spyglass,  when  a  cannon  ball  struck  the  top  of 
the  post  by  which  he  was  standing.  A  splinter  struck  his  ear  and 
made  it  bleed  freely.  After  the  surrender,  Sergeant  Elijah  Clark, 
Samuel  Marshall,  John  Paulet  and  affiant  had  orders  to  take  some 
Carolina  tories  from  Williamsburg  to  Richmond,  where  \ve  drew

KINCAID,  JAMES.— Lafayette  County,  Mo.,  Nov.  5,  1833. 
Entered  service  while  living  at  Castlewood  on  Clinch,  25  miles  from 
Abingdon.  The  settlers  in  Powell's  Valley  had  been  driven  out  by 
Indians,  and  many  of  them  hid  their  "plunder,"  not  being  able  to 
bring  it  to  a  place  of  safety.  Capt.  John  Duncan  and  company 
were  ordered  out  to  guard  the  people  so  that  they  might  bring  their 
goods  into  the  settlements.  Applicant  wras  one  year  with  him. 
Capt.  Joseph  Martin  was  at  this  time  stationed  at  Rye  Cave  on 
Clinch  to  guard  the  frontier.  The  brothers,  John  and  James, 
Bunnil  (?)  were  scouts  under  him.  We  met  these  spies  and  went 
with  them  to  Martin's  Station  in  said  valley,  but  all  had  fled. 
One  refugee,  Capt.  (Robert?)  Davis  met  us.  He  had  lived  at 
Owen's  Station,  ten  miles  below  Martin's.  Duncan  sent  five  men 
to  go  with  him  to  Owen's  to  collect  his  "plunder."  On  the  way 
back  Indians  in  ambush  fired  on  them,  killing  Bowman  and  woun- 
ing  James  Bunnill  and  -  -  Johnson.  Bunnill,  Davis,  and  another 
man  got  in  that  night.  Next  day  Duncan  went  dowrn  with  all  his 
force,  including  affiant,-  save  a  few  left  to  guard  the  wrounded. 
Davis  took  us  to  where  an  Indian  stood  that  he  shot  at.  We 
found  a  good  deal  of  blood  and  followed  the  trail,  but  after  a 
while  it  seemed  that  the  party  scattered.  We  buried  Bowman  and 
returned  to  Owen's.  Bunnill  grew  very  sick  and  we  took  him  to 
Rye  Cave.  All  were  dismissed  in  about  a  month.  The  above  took 
place  1776  (?)  in  summer  time.  Next  went  to  Kentucky  under 
Col.  John  Bowman,  of  Bedford,  Henry  Rolling  (  ?)  being  captain, 


152  VIRGINIA  MILITIA  IN  THE  REVOLUTION 

and  made  for  -  -  Station.     Near  Abingdon  one  William  Bush 

told  our  captain  he  would  raise  a  lieutenant's  quoto  (24  men),  if 
he  could  command  it  under  Rollins.  He  secured  the  men,  affiant 
and  brother  Joseph  enlisting  by  consent  of  father.  Overtook  Bow 
man  at  ford  of  Cumberland  River  and  joined  company  of  Capt. 
Paulin  (?).  Arrived  at  Boonesboro  about  August,  1777.  The  only 
other  stations  in  Kentucky  wrere  Logan's  and  Harrod's.  Stayed 
16  to  20  days  to  let  the  people  get  in  their  corn,  which  they  could 
not  do  the  year  before,  because  of  the  Indians.  Col.  Galloway, 
who  lived  with  his  family  in  the  fort,  expected  to  return  with 
Bowman,  but  failed  to  catch  up.  When  he  came  back  to  the  fort 
reported  a  man  killed  on  the  trail  we  had  come  by,  and  that  the 
Indians  had  massacred  seven  or  eight  families  around  Castlewood. 
Affiant  and  brother  and  several  others  became  uneasy  about  the  home 
folks,  and  the  colonel  granted  a  discharge.  On  the  way  back  we 
met  the  Clinch  scouts,  who  confirmed  the  report  and  said  the 
families  not  killed  had  fled.  We  had  been  gone  about  50  days. 
Next  expedition  was  to  Illinois  under  Col.  John  Montgomery. 
About  130  men  and  recruits  were  sent  to  Clarke  and  Montgomery, 
and  it  was  understood  by  us  that  the  army  would  go  to  Detroit. 
Affiant  and  brother,  Joseph,  enlisted.  At  Long  Island  in  Holston 
we  were  met  by  Col.  Evan  Shelby  and  40  militia,  and  wrent  by 
canoes  to  Chicamauga,  where  in  a  skirmish  we  killed  a  few,  took 
some  prisoners,  stayed  two  months,  and  collected  a  good  deal  of 
Indian  plunder.  Shelby  returned  and  Montgomery  wrent  to  join 
Clarke.

The  lists  here  given  for  the  counties  of  Albemarle,  Amelia,  Bed

quier,  Fluvanna,  Frederick,  Goochland,  Greenbrier,  Henrico,

cepting  Albemarle  (in  part),  and  Spottsylvania.  The  records  of 
Fluvanna  and  Greenbrier  were  found  somewhat  deficient,  and  those 
of  Henrico  were  very  much  wanting.  Nothing  was  found  in  Buck 
ingham,  Culpeper,  Dinwiddie,  Fairfax,  Hampshire,  Nottoway,  Prince 
George,  Prince  William,  or  Stafford. 

These  lists  give  the  date  of  nomination  or  commission,  and 
wherever  possible,  the  captains  under  whom  the  lieutenants  and  en 
signs  served.  It  is  evident  that  the  record  was  not  alwrays  complete. 
In  some  instances  an  officer  was  undoubtedly  sworn  in,  although  only 
the  date  of  recommendation  can  be  found  on  the  Order  Book. 

Where  a  name,  as  of  "John  Smith,"  appears  twice,  it  is  because 
it  is  not  clear  that  in  each  instance  the  same  person  is  designated. 
And  as  a  higher  rank  usually  means  that  the  officer  has  previously 
served  in  one  or  more  lower  grades,  only  the  highest  rank  found  is 
given  in  the  lists. 

Where  a  date  is  given  without  any  explanatory  mark,  it  means 
that  the  person  is  known  to  have  held  the  indicated  rank  in  the  year 
mentioned. 

The  special  abbreviations  used  are  the  following: 
Co.   Lt. — County  Lieutenant. 
Cp. — Captain, 

Lt. — Lieutenant    (when  there   is   nothing  to  show  whether 
first  or  second.)
